about SpoolingFileLineReader changesJagadish Bihani 2013-01-02, 06:49
Hi
I want to write the external RPC client which reads files from a directory. SpolingDirectory source can serve my purpose. But I am writing this to reach close to "exactly once delivery" by maintaing offsets. For that I need to change class 'SpoolingFileLineReader'. But in the comments in that file it is written that : "NOTE: This class is for internal Flume components, this is not an extension point for developers customizing Flume." Is there any specific reason for this? I mean if I just tweak it to customize to my purpose, are there any other impacts which I am missing? Regards, Jagadisn |
